The Contemporáneos group played a key role in post-revolutionary Mexico. They offered a cosmopolitan and international perspective on culture and literature in spite of the nationalistic tone that permeated all levels of Mexican life during the twenties and the thirties. Seven decades later, in 1992, Jorge Volpi and Pedro Ángel Palou wrote two novels that played tribute to poets in Contemporáneos: Volpi´s In Spite of the Dark Silence, a tribute to Jorge Cuesta, and Palou´s In the Bedroom of the World, that paid homage to Xavier Villaurrutia. Departing from Octavio Paz´s concept tradition of rupture, this essay aims to study the inter-textual relationships between In Spite of the Dark Silence and Cuesta´s poem "Song to a Mineral God" on the one hand, and, on the other, the links between In the Bedroom of the World and Xavier Villaurrutia´s Nostalgia of the Dead.
